AFAIK, it's a standard feature of many packages (not only Emacs
packages) to try .FOO in the home directory if the one in the CWD is
not usable. So I think we should fix this rather than remove the
feature. (cpp.el is under-used in general, so it's small wonder no
one paid attention to this bug.)
Btw, I think we should use expand-file-name rather than concat, to
access ~/.cpp.el.
Thanks.
